May 22 (UPI) -- Federal immigration officials have arrested the sister of a sanctioned Cuban executive on the grounds that her presence in the United States poses a threat to the nation and undermines U.S. foreign policy interests.
Homeland Security Investigations agents arrested Adys Lastres Morera in Miami on Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.
Little information about the arrest was made public. ICE published a photo showing the back of a woman in handcuffs being detained by immigration officers.
The arrest came as Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced in a statement that he had terminated Morera's lawful permanent resident status under a provision of thee Immigration and Nationality Act that makes non-citizens deportable if the secretary of state believes their presence or activities in the United States "would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences."
